The Accrington and District Junior Football League first started in 1958 and has grown significantly over the years. Originally set up for the players of Accrington, the league now draws teams from several surrounding areas including Blackburn, Darwen, Rossendale, Burnley and Colne and the Ribble Valley.
Paul Dignan, partner at Lea Hough commented: “Sport is something that many of our staff enjoy and feel passionately about. Several of our partners and staff also have young families, some of whom take part in or volunteer at the league. As such, it’s great to be able to ‘give back’ and help to fund the things that keep the league functioning on a day to day basis.
“The positive effects of taking part in regular sport go far beyond physical ability – participating in team sports is also great for building confidence and encouraging teamwork. These attributes help kids in many aspects of their lives. It’s also great fun – for both the children and the families that get involved.”
